You’ve worked hard, you’ve saved your money, you deserve to spoil yourself. You drive to the car dealership, walk in proud as can be and plunk down $400,000 for a brand new shiny red Ferrari 812 Superfast. One of the world’s most incredible feets of automotive engineering. You take the The Pilota Ferrari driving course to learn how to get the most out of your new found love. You never miss the regularly scheduled maintenance intervals and as amazing as this car is and exciting it is to drive, this vehicle won’t earn you a single penny. None the less, you will love this car like its your child ensuring it is cared for in every way possible to keep it pristine.
Nothing is to good for your shiny red Ferrari! Right? Well why not your boom truck?
1. READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL
Did you know that less than 1% of boom truck owners read their owners manual unless there is a problem? Did you know that unless a company is forced to have proper training few companies will ever provide it?
We have a local customer who owns several boom trucks. We won’t see the trucks for months and months. Then we see the same truck 3 times in one week. This will prompt me to call our customer and ask him how long has he had a new operator? And of course he wonders how I would know. The answer is very simple. If suddenly we see the same boom truck coming into the shop 3 times in one week, then I know someone is not operating the boom properly. At that point I will notify my customer that I would like to keep his operator there for a couple hours and familiarize him with the boom. 9 times out of 10 when we are finished with the repair and the truck leaves our shop, I never see the operator back.
In this scenario, the operator is happy, our customer is happy, and in turn, his customers are happy. So, reading your owners manual is critical to help ensure your boom truck is being operated properly and will have a longer and less costly life.
